Abstract
A methodology for processing authorization request messages based on proximate wireless networks is disclosed. In particular, a computer may receive, from an access device or a communication device, an authorization request message in a transaction. The computer may then obtain network data based on a set of wireless networks that are proximate to the access device or the communication device interacting with the access device during the transaction. Next, the computer may determine a difference between the network data and previous network data, wherein the previous network data is based on one or more previous sets of wireless networks that were proximate to the access device or the communication device during one or more previous transactions. Responsive to determining that the difference exceeds threshold, the computer may initiate one or more actions associated with the transaction.
